I can connect to the MWC bbs (at 2400 bps) and log in, but it apparently does not recognize my system, so DOS waffle times out. I used waffle uucico debug level 5 to try to isolate the problem. My login proceeds normally. My system responds to 'login:' prompt, the 'password:' prompt and the secondary 'password:' prompt from Coherent. I get the waffle debug message 'Awaiting remote identification', I see the 'Shere=mwcbbs' from Coherent, and get the waffle message 'Talking to: mwcbbs'. I see that waffle responds with 'Sbbsuser', but then I see Coherent respond with 'Coherent login: '. Eventually waffle reports 'TIMEOUT, no ^P' and 'Timed out waiting for authorization'. Then the session ends and waffle disconnects. Several observations: (a) I have no problems with DOS waffle uucico when calling sites running Unix (osu-cis & nstar, my newsfeed). (b) I'm told new Coherent uucico binaries were installed on the MWC Coherent bbs about the beginning of April. I could successfully connect to the MWC bbs with DOS waffle until up to about April 1. (c) When I run Coherent (v 3.1.0) and use its uucico to call the MWC bbs, I have no problems in establishing contact and copying files. I suspect it is a problem with the new Coherent uucico. Last week I contacted tech support at MWC, but haven't gotten an answer yet. Questions: (a) Is anyone else trying to use DOS waffle to call the MWC Coherent bbs? (b) Were you able to connect and transfer files after April 1st? (c) Is anyone aware of a quirk in the DOS waffle uucico that would explain the inability to talk to a Coherent uucico? --- Joseph Perry Osceola, IN USA Internet: jep%baugo@nstar.rn.com UUCP: uunet!mailrus!iuvax!nstar!baugo!jep -or- jep@baugo.UUCP ---
